Teeth Whitening Q & A

Why should I get a teeth whitening treatment?

Teeth naturally lose their brightness over time for several reasons, such as:

Drinking coffee
Drinking tea
Drinking red wine
Drinking dark soda
Eating berries
Using tobacco

There are also certain childhood medications that can cause teeth to discolor or darken faster than normal.

At Smiles Tampa, you have two options to achieve a whiter smile: in-office bleaching and at-home whitening. Teeth whitening can brighten your smile dramatically in a short amount of time.

Your dentist at Smiles Tampa works with you to customize the best solution for you.

What is a teeth whitening procedure like?

In-office bleaching usually requires only one office visit. Your dentist puts a protective gel or a rubber shield over your gums to protect the soft tissue.

Then, they apply a bleaching agent containing carbamide peroxide to your teeth, and a specialized light enhances the action of the whitening agent.

At-home whitening requires your dentist to take an impression of your teeth to create a customized mouth guard to hold the whitening gel against your teeth.

Your dentist gives you recommendations for use depending on what your desired outcomes are. You can wear the mouth guard for a few hours a day or all night and up to four weeks or longer.

For quicker results, the professionals at Smiles Tampa recommend in-office whitening at their practice.

What type of in-office teeth whitening treatments are available?

Smiles Tampa offers Zoom!® laser teeth whitening. This system coats your teeth in a professional-grade whitening gel, which is activated by a special high-powered laser that encourages oxygen to enter your dentin and enamel, bleaching out stains and discoloration.

The whitening procedure takes about an hour and produces immediate results. You can return to your daily activities with no downtime and enjoy your brighter smile.
